Skeletal muscle mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) phosphorylation status, presented as total mTOR protein during postexercise (A) and overnight (B) periods; mTOR phosphorylated at Ser2448 during postexercise (C) and overnight (D) periods; and the ratio of phosphorylated to total protein during postexercise (E) and overnight (F) periods following 300 unilateral eccentric knee extensor contractions (time = 0 hours) (damaged; black bars), while the contralateral leg rested (control; white bars). The postexercise period incorporated a work-matched bout of maximal concentric knee extensor contractions and ingestion of either a postexercise protein-polyphenol (PP; n = 9) or isocaloric maltodextrin placebo (PLA; n = 9) drink. The subsequent 9-hour overnight period began with ingestion of either a prebed PP (n = 9; black bars) or isocaloric maltodextrin PLA (n = 9; white bars) drink. α-tubulin was used as a loading control. Images obtained from a single representative participant in PLA. Data are presented as means, with error bars representing standard error. Statistical analysis was performed with separate 2-factor analysis of variance. *Main effect of time; #difference between damaged and control legs; difference between PLA and PP; $decrease between 24 and 27 hours in PLA only. One symbol, P < 0.05; 2 symbols, P < 0.01; 3 symbols, P < 0.001.
